Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, Director of Inter-Party and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Relations (Corporate Affairs) for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasized the urgent need for restructuring the country’s economic modules to ensure survival and growth.
This call to action was made during a crucial meeting with representatives from the Integrated Social Development Centre (ISODEC). In his address, Dr. Otokunor outlined the challenges currently facing the nation’s economy, underscoring that without significant reforms, sustainable development would remain elusive.
“The survival and growth of our nation hinge on a comprehensive restructuring of our economic frameworks,” he stated. Dr. Otokunor highlighted the need for new strategies that are resilient and inclusive to navigate the complexities of the modern economic landscape.
He also highlighted the proactive steps taken by the NDC’s 2024 presidential candidate, former President John Dramani Mahama, to establish a committee known as the NDC LAB. This committee, comprising seasoned technocrats, is tasked with conducting an in-depth analysis of the economy and providing actionable insights and innovative solutions to the economic issues plaguing the country.
Dr. Otokunor noted that the NDC LAB is a testament to the party’s commitment to leveraging expertise and evidence-based approaches in addressing economic challenges. The meeting with ISODEC also focused on collaborative efforts to address social and economic inequalities, with both parties agreeing on the importance of a multi-faceted approach incorporating diverse perspectives and expertise.
The meeting was also attended by Dr. Mary Ewusi, Deputy Director of Inter-Party and Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Relations (Corporate Affairs), and other members of the Directorate.
